[Ecommerce] US E-Commerce Roundatable

[James Love]

I think the CU conference room on the 7th would be a great way to
begin.  I'll be out of town, but others will be here, so I would say, we
should go ahead.    My only concern would be that the room may be a bit
small.  But maybe for the first meeting, we don't have to invite the
whole world.  The TPR meetings were open, and often generated crowds of
50  to 100 people.  

With regard to the issues, I should have said something like "for
example," because it was not intended to be restrictive.  Certainly
Internet governance should be talked about too, as well as other
issues.  Indeed, I'll in at an ICANN board meeting on the 7th, which is
why I can't come on that day.
